Better

Today and yesterday are better days. I feel better. The fog has lifted. The weather is crazy - but hey, its Georgia, what do you expect. Its Dec. 5 and its 70 degrees out, yesterday and today. I wore shorts and flip flops yesterday. Maybe that has been the reason for the better mood. The weather is kind of dreary today. Its warm but overcast, looks like it could rain at any moment. It needs to, we need the rain.
Not really much in the Christmas spirit this year, but then again, I rarely am. I enjoy it, just dont get all that into it. I guess its just the commercialism of it all. I enjoy buying the girls stuff and Eddy something and my family, but everyone else - wait, I stopped doing that a few years ago. That was crazy. I got to where I thought I had to buy for this friend and that friend. Then I started making treats or cakes for them. Then they started expecting it . . . HUH? This year I may make some goodie tins for special people, teachers I like or people like that. I just downsized my outer circle. The smaller it is, the less bull I have to put up with.
Here lately I have noticed just how much I love my family. The nights me and the girls lay in the bed and watch TV or when me and Ed go out to eat. When me and my dad go out to eat. I love that. I have never really been close to him up until the past year or so. Ever since granny died it made me realize I wont have him or my mom forever. I have really missed Granny this holiday season. I made her dressing for Thanksgiving this year and turned out really good - only a couple servings of left overs. My sweet potato souffle' was also a hit, maybe less left over there.
One tradition we have had was me, my mom and sisters go Black Friday shopping. This year Hannah got to go. She loved it. She was only able to last about 4 hours or so then she had to go home and crash. Then the day after Thanksgiving me and Hannah put up the tree. Emily is not into that. She goes and does her own thing.
Eddy and Emily went out and did their thing while me and Hannah slept. Just seems to work out best that way - lol.

I am truly blessed beyond measure. I do not deserve what God has given me but am truly thankful He has given it to me.
